"WE'RE SEATED: OMG! Pedro Pascal is officially replacing Joaquin Phoenix in Todd Haynes' NC-17 gay romance, now titled De Noche, which begins production next month! He'll star opposite Danny Ramirez in this "passionate love affair" period piece with timely themes of "domestic corruption & racial exploitation."

[]"

Deserved!!!"
"NET 360: In its satire of the pop machine, Charli XCX's mockumentary The Moment imagines the darkest timeline of her brat-era fame with a great running joke about a brat credit card shamelessly targeted to her queer fans. Hilarious & ridiculous? Oh yeah, but you know you'd want one IRL-and now you can! []"
